Projects planned for 2023
* Improve and enlarge the puppy pen: For this we need poles and wiring as well as 20 square metres of artificial lawn.
* Large pavers plus sand and cement for the walk-ways, as it can get really muddy during the wet winter months.
Other wishlist items
* Dog food: We are always in need of dog food (we feed on average 25kgs of food per day) and our biggest wish would be to find a regular monthly donor. We also often have dogs that are extremely neglected when they reach us and need puppy food to improve their weight and condition.
* Tick, flea and worm prevention: We use Bravecto XL to ensure that the Collies in our care remain tick and flea-free.
* Any donations of blankets (ideally polar fleece or army-style blankets as our winters are wet and very cold), dog beds, continental pillows, towels, shampoo, F10 concentrate, deworming tablets, toys (especially balls), collars, leashes and brass tags are always needed and welcome
* Our dogs sleep inside the "Dog Cabin" at the shelter at night and we urgently need additional plastic dog crates (the one's used for air travel) to cater for this.
Cash donations
It is never easy to ask for money, but we do have expenses that cannot be settled in any other way like vaccinations, sterilisations and injuries or illnesses that are treated at the vet.
For the major donor
Our old and trusted bakkie is in need of a major service and ideally replacement by a slightly bigger, second-hand bakkie than the one we currently have, both for fetching donations as well as transporting the dogs.
